Screenshots

Since a screenshot is worth a thousand words, here are a few shots of kio-find (version 0.1) in action. First, we have the find:/ root window displaying the search history. Then, there is the search result of find:/java+xml and finally a shot of the find kicker applet in action.

Status

Please consider this software in alpha status, it is released as a request for comment rather than for productive use. This means that support requests along the lines of "compilation fails with XYZ, what shall I do?" will be ignored until the software reaches a more mature state.

FRAGMENT: defines a subset of the search result to show. At the moment, valid FRAGMENTs are the service types supported by tracker-0.5.4:

Documents: doc, document, documents

Music: mus, music

Images: img, image, images

Videos: vid, video, videos

Text Files: txt, text, textfiles

Development: dev, development

Example for a complete find URL:

find:/java+xml/*.pdf#doc

looks for documents containing 'java' and 'xml' with a filename ending on '.pdf'. The URL find:/ will display the find history, i. e. a list of all queries that returned at least one result.
The find_applet is a simple kicker applet that calls "konqueror find:/$INPUT" where $INPUT is your text input.

Known bugs

The applet's history window is too small to hold all history entries, scrollbars appear
